    Research on the Marketing Model of Brick-and-Mortar Bookstores

    These years, with the development of the internet, online bookshops have reached a growing audience. As online bookstores have gradually expanded their dominance, the size of the physical bookstore retail market has continued to shrink, making it increasingly difficult for physical bookstores to make a profit and leading to a wave of "closures". This paper focuses on the community-based marketing communication of physical bookstores as a mechanism and conducts research from the perspective of service marketing to inspire physical bookstores to better exploit the advantages of the service experience of physical channels and provide ideas for physical bookstores to tailor their service marketing models to create more economic value and thus achieve sustainable development. The study found that for physical bookstores to survive and thrive in a fiercely competitive market, they must build experiential platforms, realize scene operations, develop cultural activities, create a bookish atmosphere, establish emotional links, and realize commercial value. At the same time, brick-and-mortar bookstores should also adopt innovative marketing tools to expand their outreach and explore a unique path of quality development.

    The Impact of Government Intervention on Firms' Investment Decisions in China: An Extension in the IS-LM Model

    This essay examines how government interventions affect the firms in China, where political connections are valued as one of the essential factors in this fast-growing economy. This research aims to show that the Chinese government treats SOEs and non-SOEs differently by offering different interest rates. This paper contributes to allowing the policymakers to notice the difference in the responsiveness of SOE and non-SOEs investment. The government can plan its expansionary policy schemes by setting the interest rates according to the relative sensitivities of firms to overcome economic fluctuations. The primary methodology is an extension of the IS-LM model, which studies how the exogenous change in policies affects the equilibrium level of income. According to the correlation analysis, SOE investment has an intense negative relationship with interest rates. Still, the non-SOE investment is less responsive than the SOE investment, although it also has an opposite trend with the interest rates. This study modifies the IS-LM curve based on Chinese government intervention behavior and contributes to the further exploration of the investment behavior of firms under policy changes. The Chinese economy is currently rebounding from the aftermath of the pandemic, as the government abandoned its Zero-COVID regime. China’s policy-induced recovery will generate a considerable contribution to global growth according to the IMF’s forecasts, released on January 30th, 2023. This research topic is necessary to be developed as it studies the reaction of firms when the government applied its policy tools to spur the economy.

    2008 Financial Crisis and Systemic Risk Regulation

    During the post-pandemic era, whether Covid-19 will cause a financial crisis is one of the key issues. Some research are done about the relationships between the Covid-19 crisis and the 2008 financial crisis, but there still exists much blank about mechanics and explanations in this field. This paper first focuses on the 2008 financial crisis, analyzing key factors attributing to such a serious financial crisis, giving suggestions in response to factors found, and then comparing the 2008 financial crisis to the Covid-19 crisis to give some warnings. In the course of analyzing key factors, this paper concludes with previous research and uses the game theory model to show why the policy of the government is indispensable. As to give responses, this paper takes the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III for example to show how people deal with key factors found before and then gives some supplementary suggestions. The conclusion of this paper is that the 2008 financial crisis was the result of constantly aggressive monetary policy and people’s lack of awareness of risks and proper regulation. The by comparing the Covid-19 crisis and the 2008 financial crisis, this paper thinks the Covid-19 crisis won’t be serious if the Fed is careful about constantly aggressive monetary policy and the government strictly implement policies like the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III.

    Risk Assessment of the Banking Industry under the COVID-19 Crisis

    This paper shows that increased bank asset liquidity does not necessarily reduce risk-taking. The help provided by the government in the epidemic crisis has also been provided after the damage occurred. On the other hand, the merger of banks is not a good thing for low-risk banks. Regulators should conduct frequent financial reports on banks to ensure that the risk of sudden default due to weak supervision is reduced. Foreign exchange risk management is especially important for banks involved in cross-border transactions and foreign exchange business. Reasonable control of the market exchange rate prohibits the impact of the foreign exchange black market on the market. The COVID-19 epidemic has led to fluctuations and instability in global exchange rates and the banking industry. For the foreign exchange transaction risks caused by exchange rate fluctuations, banks usually need various foreign exchange derivatives instruments to ensure that foreign exchange risks are effectively managed.

    Expanding Access to Higher Education: The Case for Using Minority Quotas or Reserves to Increase Diversity

    This project report aims to explore the use of minority quotas or minority reserves as a means of increasing diversity in university admissions and widening access. The report provides a critical review of the literature on this topic, outlines the benefits and drawbacks of using quotas and reserves, and presents a mathematical model which introduces a fairness constraint to the Men-proposing Deferred Acceptance (DA) Algorithm to address the issues of underrepresented minority groups and promote diversity in the college admissions process. The model is used to match students and schools in a way that maximizes diversity while maintaining fairness and efficiency. This report provides proof and computational results to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. The report draws on Alvin E. Roth's “The Art of Designing Markets” to underscore the importance of designing effective market mechanisms that address the challenges of diversity and equity in university admissions. The report concludes that minority quotas and reserves can be effective tools for promoting diversity and social justice in higher education, but that they must be implemented carefully and in conjunction with other policies aimed at addressing structural inequalities.

    Principal-agent Relationship and Agency Problem

    Progressively stricter requirements of labor division have led to the blossom of the principal-agent model, where differences in objective functions between the principal and the agent, as well as information asymmetry, often hinder the principal from maximizing their utility and can result in potential harm to both parties and social welfare. This paper aims to analyze the endogenous causes and issues resulting from the principal-agent model and proposes solutions. Additionally, the shareholder-CEO relationship in finance is applied as a specific case of the principal-agent model for further analysis. Through the construct of a simple model and a signaling mechanism pondering more realistic elements, the negative effect of information asymmetry can be weakened. Lastly, based on the findings of this paper and existing empirical research, the article proposes specific schemes for the above-mentioned mechanism and discusses their implementation and implications. The investigation of principal-agent issues and the proposal of appropriate countermeasures are of great significance and are always frontier concerns for both academia and society.

    Asset Allocation for Retirement: Strategies for Risk Management and Growth

    The US ex-president Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. From the big picture, the aging problem has been or already slopped in many countries and regions. With the development of technology and healthcare, it is foreseeable to result in a longer lifetime and a healthier body, which should be good news for all human beings.

    Enterprise Value Analysis: The Case of PepsiCo

    This paper has researched the Pepsi company value by using the discounted free cash flow (DCF) method and adjusted present value (APV) method. This paper has explained why company valuation is important at first. Then, discussed how the company valuation affects investors and managers. Finally, use DCF and APV methods to value Pepsi company based on the sales growth model and analyzed the research results. In order to obtain a relatively accurate result, this paper has forecasted the next five years’ sales revenue and calculated the free cash flow to estimate the company value. The result is that the company value calculated by these two methods is higher than market value. The reason is that the sales revenue is estimated to continue to grow, and the free cash flow neglects the other comprehensive incomes. According to the analysis of the valuing results, it could be concluded that managers should pay more attention to the company financial structure and business environment. At the same time, the managers should also expand the company market share to attract more consumers to achieve constant sales growth.
